Step by step instructions on how to make your own decorative yet functional 4 ft diameter water wheel out of old scrap redwood deck lumber using common carpentry equipment. This design utilizes mostly short scrap pieces (under 24") so as to maximize the re-use of available scrap which would most likely otherwise be discarded or used as firewood kindling. Also the age-weathered deck boards make the wheel look old and add to the genuine look of the feature. This eight-spoke design is also the easiest to layout, cut, and assemble without needing expert carpentry skills or experience. This video is part 1 of a 3-part series due to file size. Good luck and thanks for watching.
